The fourteenth year of Xiping, the first month

Jiaozhou

A carriage and horse are driving slowly on the road, followed by two knights, the knights rode their horses, followed the carriage unhurriedly, four years ago, want to drive in Jiaozhou, that is impossible, Jiaozhou is full of mountains and forests, fierce beasts are ambushed, even the road is almost none, and there is a lack of horses here, it is very inconvenient to walk around.

However, now it is different, a gallop road will connect the entire Jiaozhou, Liu Mo spent three years, will Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, Rinan, Nanhai, Cangwu, Hepu, Zhuya, Yulin, Guilin and other nine counties connected, no hindrance, later, even the subordinate one hundred and four counties, have also built roads, of course, not such a road that can let two carriages and horses walk side by side, but for the locality, it is enough.

When building the galloping road, Liu Mo insisted on building a road where two carriages could run in parallel, at that time, many people did not understand that there was a shortage of horses here in Jiaozhou, and it was very poor, what was the use of building such an avenue?

Later, they suddenly realized that on the current Jiaozhou gallop road, there are countless carriages coming and going, full of traffic, of course, these are not Jiaozhou's local carriages and horses, most of these are from Yangzhou, Jingzhou businessmen, and even from Yizhou thousands of miles to come, Liu Mo after the construction of the gallop, he is committed to commercial trade.

If it was in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other Central Plains areas, I am afraid that Liu Mo would have been driven out long ago, but in this poor mountain and bad water place, no one came to accuse Liu Mo of his behavior, Liu Mo sold Jiaozhou's high-quality timber to Jingzhou merchants, and later, he found that the herbs produced in Jiaozhou, as well as various fruits, are lacking or not in the Central Plains.

Through the merchants of Yangzhou, he sold these specialties from Jiaozhou to the Central Plains.

Mountains and forests alone, as well as herbs and fruits, have given Jiaozhou financial support for its development.

Liu Mo sat in the carriage, looking around, in the surroundings, it was all the cultivated land of the people, even in winter, the cultivated land here was not completely barren, this was the most shocking thing after Liu Mo came, in the winter here, there was no snowfall, and the crops and fruits here could be ripened twice a year, and even three times!!

Liu Mo is from Donghao, who is cold and frozen, seeing the situation here, he burst into tears with excitement, what poverty, this is simply the country of abundance! The same cultivated crops, within a year, can be ripened several times here, such an area, the temple did not go all out to develop and develop???

After learning about the situation here, Liu Mo's initial big strategy was to Daxing Tuntian, he negotiated with the border army brigade to reclaim in Jiaozhou, the captain of the Jiaozhou border army brigade was very kind, and he also came out of the southern army that year, I heard that he had made a lot of meritorious deeds, and he was recently promoted to the position of captain, responsible for the safety of the surrounding areas of Jiaozhou, he was a northerner, it seems to be a Yanmen person, called Zhang Liao, the word is far away.

Although this person is a martial artist, he is also a good reader, he is polite, Liu Mo is very fond of it, after negotiating with him, the people and the soldiers on the border reclaimed together, and after cultivating countless cultivated land, it also attracted a lot of people from Yangzhou and Jingzhou, not to mention, Liu Mo is different from other assassins, he himself is a native of Donghao, and the people of the mountains in the south are more than the people, these people, in the locality, will be oppressed by the officials, or despised.

Liu Mo will not be like this, he treats anyone the same, smiling, gentle and kind.

Therefore, the upward and downward effects, the attitude of the officials of Jiaozhou towards these "barbarians" is also very good, after all, their own officials are "barbarians", which has attracted hundreds of people to move here, not to mention, there is still a large amount of arable land here, and it is still being reclaimed, although Yangzhou Thorn Shi is extremely angry, and even impeached Liu Mo, saying that he bewitched the people and forced the people to move, but this can not change the fact of the rise of Jiaozhou.

Jiaozhou's national reclamation situation, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, frightened Jingzhou and Yangzhou next door, Liu Mo alone, arrived in Jiaozhou, and Jiaozhou nine counties of Taishou, he is regarded as a junior, his own son and nephew, which makes Jiaozhou officials very united and harmonious, Liu Mo with a strong personal charm, let Jiaozhou become an iron plate, set off a huge reclamation movement.

Liu Mo personally went to the ground, wielding a hoe, reclaiming wasteland, and the officials in Jiaozhou could not continue to sit in the study, and someone with a heart told the Son of Heaven that Liu Mo was trying to misbehave, he was in Jiaozhou, winning over local officials, and obeying his orders from top to bottom!

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he just smiled, and even the ministers who hated Liu Mo in the court did not speak, if it was someone else, maybe they could panic a little and impeach him, as for Liu Mo? Scold? Bad intentions? That Donghao barbarian???

Saying that he wants to rebel, why don't we collect some evidence that he is not doing well, so that we can impeach this barbarian!

Today's Jiaozhou, there are countless cultivated land, and the people are constantly migrating, and even, even the people of Funan and Zhenla are also admiring it, and there are some distant natives, for these people, Liu Mo is extremely friendly, never despised, or bullied, Jiaozhou's agricultural and mulberry industry, in less than five years, has caught up with Yangzhou, the most developed in the south, and even to catch up!!

Yangzhou Thorn Shi couldn't sit still, but he didn't have as much power as Liu Mo in the local area, if he also learned from Liu Mo, the upper and lower were one, I was afraid that he would have to see Zhang He tomorrow, and he could only sigh helplessly.

After the great prosperity of agriculture, Liu Mo found that the local timber is very high-quality, especially Cangwu County, so he contacted the merchants, operated a lowly industry, sold timber, and after discovering the local herbs and fruits, the scale of the sale became larger again, which led to today's Jiaozhou, merchants coming and going all over the nine counties, constantly sending local specialties to the Central Plains.

Liu Mo also encouraged the people to plant trees, fruits, herbs and the like.

Therefore, on both sides of the road, you can also see some saplings that have just opened their heads, in the courtyards of the people, there are also "medicine gardens" for planting herbs, of course, Liu Mo will not let go of water specialties, he has personally participated in fishing, although there are no big fish with dragon whiskers here, but there are also special fish here, there is a fish that looks like horses, which makes Liu Mo surprised.

As a result, there is one more product sold in Jiaozhou.

Liu Mo also built a lot of fishing boats, which effectively developed the local fishery and shipbuilding industry.

In short, in the past five years, the entire Jiaozhou has undergone earth-shaking changes, from one of the poorest states in the world, to the top, eye-catching, thousands of hectares of farmland, business travel, and the four highways, all of which have greatly changed the situation in the entire south, and all these changes are all because of Liu Mo alone.

Liu Mo still refuses to give up, he is even constantly cultivating cultivated land and developing it towards the west, he wants to include the wild mountains and forests in the west into the scope of Jiaozhou, of course, this place is still very vicious, compared to the original Jiaozhou, it is more terrifying, but there is more wood there, and so are herbs.

Perhaps, he is not enough to develop these wild areas, but Liu Mo believes that one day, this will also become an important economic and agricultural center of Dahan!

"Gong Liu!"

The knight in the rear rushed to Liu Mo's side and said in a low voice, "A group of people have appeared in front, and they are local pavilion guards. ”

Liu Mo nodded and said, "It seems that it has arrived... Go and tell them a word, and speak kindly..."

This knight is very burly, and his appearance is also fierce, he smiled and said, "Liu Gong, rest assured!" After speaking, the horse galloped away, Liu Mo shook his head helplessly, this guy still can't get rid of the gangsterism on his body, this person was originally a water thief in the south, and later, because he committed a big crime, he was chased by Yizhou Assassin Shi with all his might, and fled to Jingzhou, Yangzhou and other places, and finally came to Jiaozhou.

Later, it was very simple, when Liu Mo went to inspect the local area, he met him, he intercepted the carriage and horses, and wanted to rob the money, but after he learned Liu Mo's identity, he immediately ordered his subordinates to put down their weapons and arrest him.

This person is not bad-hearted, robs and does not kill, but he is really stubborn, a huge person, or a child's heart, since then, he and his subordinates have followed Liu Mo and personally guarded him.

Liu Mo drove for a while, and then saw a group of pavilion guards trotting over, bowing to the carriages and horses.

"Meet Liu Gong!"

"Gentlemen, please get up, I don't know if the pavilion chief is here?"

"Gong Liu, I'm the pavilion chief!" One person stood up and said, he was dressed as a farmer, and he was a little out of place with the surrounding pavilion guards, which made him a little embarrassed, and in front of Liu Mo, he was even more ashamed, Liu Mo did not blame, Jiaozhou has been implementing national reclamation, not to mention the pavilion chief, even the county order is also wearing such clothes, leading the people in the local area.

Liu Mo smiled and asked, "I'm going to Bijing County, I don't know if you might accompany you?" ”

The pavilion chief bowed again and said, "Don't dare to resign!" ”

The knights gave him a horse, and the three of them left with Liu Mo, and the rest of the pavilion guards sent them off, walking on the road, Liu Mo was also talking to the pavilion chief, Bijing County is in Rinan County, which can be regarded as the most remote county in the Han Dynasty, and it is also rare, Liu Mo has never been to the county seat, which is extremely far away from Yangzhou, and can only be traveled by waterway.

"There's a lot of arable land here..."

"Thanks to Liu Gong's merits, we also have a field to cultivate."

"The old man doesn't have the strength to wield a hoe, he still has to rely on your diligence, on weekdays, this matter of persuading farmers to teach agriculture still needs you to worry about..."

"The subordinates don't dare!"

"Whether it is an official or an official, he should have Li Shu in his heart, how can he not do things that are beneficial to his family and country because of his low official status?"

"Thank you Liu Gong for your teachings."

The pavilion chief replied very cautiously, as the pavilion chief, he was still very afraid of the history of the assassin in a state, even if this assassin history has always been known for his kindness and did not dare to say much, Liu Mo also saw this, he did not continue to ask about political affairs, but asked about the local climate.

"Are there fish and shrimp here? Hahaha, you don't know, I eat fish, I was in Donghao before, there are a lot of fish and shrimp, I also caught a big fish with dragon whiskers, very mysterious, to Jiaozhi, there is a kind of horse-like fish there, but, the words of the people, the killing is unknown, I have not eaten, and I don't know how it tastes, what about you here? ”

........

When he arrived at the county seat, the pavilion chief immediately said goodbye to Liu Mo and left in a hurry.

Entering the county seat, the people here looked at the people who came with some surprise, Liu Mo got off the carriage and horses, walked around the county, and when he met the people, he would stop and ask them one by one, these people, seeing Liu Mo's clothes and the knights behind him, were afraid, and when facing Liu Mo, they were also respectful and respectful, and did not dare to be rude.

"I'm from the state, don't be afraid, how are the officials here? Are there any oppressors who oppress you? ”

"Do you have food at home? Is it enough to eat? ”

"Has the child ever gone to the government school to study? Do you want money? ”

Liu Mo asked one by one, his escort Gan Ning stood not far away, and he admired Liu Mo very much, because Liu Mo had used several different words in this short period of time, in this remote area, there were many people in Yue and Funan, and Liu Mo could recognize their identities at a glance when facing them, and he could also use their words to ask!

Gan Ning admires it anyway, his own Liu Gong seems to be proficient in nearly ten languages, and he also compiled a book and sent it to local officials, so that they can learn and communicate with the local people, Gan Ning really can't figure it out in his heart, why would the Son of Heaven be thrown away in this poor mountain and evil forest?
